You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

みんな大丈夫？ Big earthquake with tsunami warning. Hope everyone is safe.

Ah... Bitter sweet feelings today... Going to work at 6am to make a release of a game (yay) that is not mine 🥲

Yesterday, I started playing FF7R (at last!). I'm really liking it considering the original FF7 is one of the big games that made an impact on a 13-14 years old me (and half of the world). So I'm happy it hasn't been messed up (I've only played 4 chapters so far but still...) But, BUT... Tifa...

Small plate (まめざら) from the convinience store has just spawned at home 🥬

You would think than using Lightroom in a new computer (vs an 8 years old computer) would be faster. Wrong. Adobe is utterly shit. I'm not sure if it even feels slower. AI Slop 💩

It doesn't matter what train of the Chūo line I take to work, it always has delays. Whoever said that Japanese trains don't get delayed sure it's laughing hard 🤣

Watched 🎬 Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In. Pretty good if you like Kung-Fu movies from the 80s and/or Kowloon Walled City :3 I enjoyed it, ngl.

Is it just me or the way #Godot handles fullscreen/maximized windows is NASTY if the stretch mode is set to viewport with aspect keep? #indiegame #gamedev #killmeplease

Just finished Space Marine 2, and now I just want to play Final Liberation from 1997 again... 🥲 I remember wishing for a proper W40k movie around that year just because of the cutscenes (which were impressive at the time)

Is it normal to consider this many sizes and measurements for a game like this… or am I overthinking it? I wouldn’t do it any other way though. Still, lots of changes coming before the final designs!! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart #aseprite #japan #manga #anime #saturdayscreenshot

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

We're giving away five copies of our All Fonts Pack! 📝 Over 1200 fonts in one pack 🎨 Commercial use in all your projects 💵 Worth $190 Follow us and repost to win, we'll pick five of you at random on Friday morning 😊

There's no week I don't desire to go back to simpler times of gaming. The gold era of PC games (around 1995 for me) That was beautiful. Every sprite had soul. Every technical advance was significative. What a time to remember 🥲

Oops! It looks like I may not have fully considered the final in-game size… so I might have to redo it with the face about 10px smaller. Ah, always something to fix — but hopefully it’s for the best. I don’t want to settle for the first version I make. I want to aim for quality. #indiedev #gamedev

Slowly progressing... (I also coded the cutscene system and adjusted fonts within this week 😅) Since today's holiday in Japan, this still counts as #screenshotsaturday, right? 🧐 #gamedev #indiedev #godot #aseprite #pixelart #japan #manga The filename kind of reveals the story a bit... 😉

Seems like the city is busy today... (Yes, two unrelated incidents within 300m) What a walk around the neighborhood 😅

So... I've been waking around 8:30, working (for real money lol) from 9:40 to 20:30 or 21:30 depending on the day... then coming back home and working on my game from 22:30 or 23:00 until 1:30 or 2:30 aprox for a while now I wonder how much time I can continue like this...

Impressive how just browsing pixel fonts is enough to inspire me some games...

When I saw all the posts about the #Godot GUI layout, I was thinking that it couldn't be that hard. Specially coming with years of experience on HTML/CSS. I'm starting to hate it lol. Trying to customize a bit some of the behavior is a nightmare. It's easier to create custom components from scratch

Another character design I’m really happy with! I love the early 2000s vibe on this one. Can’t wait to see it in color and in actual in-game screens! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #characterdesign #screenshotsaturday #japan #manga

How are people allowed to write reviews after playing 10 minutes of a game? Lucky this game has good reviews (because it's indie, but pretty famous), but wouldn't be it super unfair for other products if they just get bad reviews after 10 minutes?

Installing 8+gb of Visual Studio just to compile aseprite 🤪

Don't mind me. I'm just checking the latest releases for PC while waiting for my order to come. Btw, these wristwatches look so advanced they should be called Smart watches

I find it really hard to share updates mid-dev on a story-driven game when the visuals are still just boxes and placeholders 😐 Next game, I’m starting with the graphics 🤣 #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #godot

2026 update

Small progress is still progress! Just finished a big chunk of code for a mini game! AND fixed a bug that made showing a character wrong in the 1ˢᵗ frame before the animation updated... But since I still don't have graphics, I'm reticent to show screens... so here's my code then 😜 #gamedev #godot

Creating my own UiTabs because I don't like how Godot's native one behaves. It's not bad, but it misses things... like the navigation with neighbors... Probably could be fixed with a small hack... Overkill? Maybe. But I plan to reuse it so, not that bad. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

What's the problem with nowadays PC cases, that there's almost no one accepting more than 2x 3.5" HDD??? What am I supposed to do with my 4 HDD? =_=

Testing reality-bending visual effects for my game! #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev #Steam #WishlistOnSteam #SteamGame #ActionAdventure #IndieGames #GamingNews #PCGaming #GodotEngine

Please, if you make a game, DON'T assume everyone plays on full screen or the default window size... There are a lot of people with a lot of different monitor sizes. Some people will want to play in window mode at 2x or 3x of the default window size. Don't be like this

I might have to focus on a lot of art from now on, since the code is mostly done… Now that I don’t have to focus as much, any recommendations for series or something to have on in the background to listen to while I work? (Usually I have gamedev interviews in YT, but looking for something else!)

Let’s see what comes out of this first character design to put into the game… What do you think it might be? Character, story... What kind of character do you think she is? #gamedev #indiedev #characterdesign #pixelart

One thing I've learned from indie game dev, is there is some massive disrespect out there for the art of coding There are lots of people who think "just slap shit together until it works" or "ai slop is fine if it's in code" because engines make it easier now Then they complain about optimization

Adding more people to my list of "Artists I might hire in the future" because... well, I guess the time to make some requests is getting closer!

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Following this for sure! And hopefully, next year I'll be able to start a related project... so super useful for inspiration and who knows, maybe for hiring!

Tifa

I think my resolutions for 2026 will be start showing what I can of my game(s)... Will I be able...? 😅

Seriously considering not buying anything else from Humble...

I'm noticing that the direction where technology is headed is taking a toll on me: AI for everything, shortage of everything, stress everywhere, ... Plus housing prices rising, inflation, ... But again, I know is the same for (almost) everyone Can't we just go back to the 90s-2000s? :3

Busy to the extent of not being able to finish one shader in the last two weeks 😭

Today I don't know but I was wondering... and I'd appreciate answers from those who like Animal Crossing: What do you like from AC games? Is it the graphics? The cuteness? The collectibles? The relationship with the town people? Customizing the island? The house? What? :)

400mb of internet data in one day used just by browsing news. I hate modern websites. Mostly add that auto load videos. Wtf... Are we crazy???

Curious about how do you guys manage the workflow of creating textures for 3d models and managing/updating them in a maintainable way. Do you work directly in the atlas? Do you work in single textures and use some tool like TP to pack them on build time? Please let me know!

Half of the time I search for Japanese games in Japanese in Steam they never come up, but if I search from google there's no problem. Steam is broken out of English lol

Damn that was long...
